I want to introduce myself. I made a few other posts but never in this section.

Most of my driving is between my residence in Missouri and my business in Illinois. They are far enough apart that I only make it home on weekends. My wife and I usually make the weekend commute in our Econoline It is usually full and many times we are hauling our tandem trailer which is loaded as well. Not much hope for mileage there. The entire route has 4 stop signs and no traffic lights. If we are not hauling the trailer the van gets about 15 miles per gallon and with trailer about 10-11. I usually run 70 without trailer and 65 with.
